Terrible post. Sorry. B-berrys are hell with freshly cut fingernails...
My guess is that Mariotti has a lot of friends in Illinois. Maybe the prosecutor asked the judge to set bail high to discourage him heading there.
I just noticed an error in my original post. I should have said bail is normally NOT set based on the seriousness of the charge.
What are the odds that ESPN fires the guy? Usually, ESPN tries their best to ignore their own bad behavior...all while constantly treating every issue they come across from their moral high horse...
He’s not really an ESPN guy, he’s a semi-regular on Around the Horn as has been a replacement guy on PTI a couple of times but Kornheiser hates his guts so that’s pretty rare. And really sports reporters getting busted isn’t exactly a sports story, which team is going to be effected by Jay getting arrested? Other than Ozzie Guillén (who also hates Jay) doing a happy dance this really isn’t a sports story, it’s a c-list celebrity getting arrested story, which is TMZ’s gig not ESPN’s.
No idea at all ...
